Depending on whether they are regular receivers or DVR's A regular receiver needs a dedicated line. DVR's to work properly need two for each box. I just rewired my fiver and now have two cables to each receiver location so that I have the option of running the roof top or tri pod mounted antenna. How are they hooked up at home? They need the exact same thing in the trailer to work properly.

You need two if you DON'T have Hi-Def. If you have Hi-Def, you can use only one coax per receiver. Just installed DVR on our MH by a DirectTV tech.

Each DVR tuner must have it's own feed IF you want to watch and record at the same time. If you don't care, then a single feed is OK.
